A Novel Approach to Protect Photoreceptors and RPE Integrity to Slow Geographic Atrophy Progression
Time: 4:30 pm
day: Day1
Details:
- Exploring the emerging role of ferroptosis — an iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven form of programmed cell death in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) dysfunction and photoreceptor degeneration in dry AMD
- Discussing how oxidative stress, iron accumulation, and impaired lipid metabolism converge to trigger ferroptotic pathways in the aging retina
- Presenting early Phase I trial results for PST-611, a novel gene therapy delivered via proprietary microneedle technology
